[orca-list] keynote gold espeak language

[Josh K <joshknnd1982 gmail com>]

hi

espeak sounds way different. since espeak is cross platform this should 
work also. I will provide a link, followed by the read-me for the file 
in the email.
this could be the key to improving espeak!  I askd him for the source 
code will pass it on as soon as i get it. the source code for his 
intonations file that is.

now the read me.

This is an espeak voice which emulates the inflection of a Keynote Gold 
speech synthesizer from the 90s, but does not even try to emulate the 
sound of the actual synth.
To install this voice:
1. Copy the file called intonations into your espeak_data directory in 
your installation of espeak. This also works for any programs that use 
this synth, such as NVDA, although I have never managed to get that to 
work with the builtin espeak.
2. Copy en-kng into espeak_data/voices/test. This will install the 
actual voice.
If everything went well, the voice should now be installed and you 
should see a voice called english-kng in your voice/language list. I 
would have made it a variant, but you can't modify a variant's intonation.

Please note I have nothing to do with keynote gold. I do not own it or 
have any rights to it. I only did this for fun and to try and see if 
espeak's intonation controls were actually good. Also because for some 
reason, I've always been a fan of that synthesizer.
